Thoroughly enjoyed the first movie and look forward to the remake. However, if history is any indication the Ruskies and Red Chinese should look no further than WWII. Throughout history Americans have been most violent and blood thirsty when ticked off and then the most forgiving benefactors.
WWII as an example of American blood thirst and revenge??? Not quite... Soviet Russia gets to take the revenge cake in WWII...If america was the sleeping giant, soviet russia was the raging bear of WWII... when it comes to blood thirsty and revenge, the Soviets have us beat in spades, especially in WWII..
In the first week of Hitlers push towards moscow 150,000 lay dead and dying in soviet russia, more than five months of the battle of somme... When Kiev fell, 600,000 capture russian soldiers...
Starvation was widespread, with Soviet civilians forced to eat dogs - until the dog supply ran out and people were forced to turn to rats, crows and birch bark. In the Ukrainian town of Kharkov, which was administered by the German army, 100,000 people died of starvation and disease.
Soviet Russia's bloody response to near anhiliation is the VERY DEFINITION, of vengence/revenge....By the end of the Siege on Stalingrad, an estimated 1 million troops had died in defense of the city.... In addition a few million more had been captured as POW's
Then begins the Soviet PUSH... an amazing understatement, as the Soviets would cause more 3X the casualties in their push than all of the losses in normandy by the allied invasion...
During the push from stalingrad to when soviet russia reinvaded Berlin, the germans would mass aproximatly 2,400,000 troops dead(germany only lost 3,500,000 the entire war)...
After taking Berlin, the Soviets soldiers would then move on the murdering, slaughtering, raping, and torture of the german people in retaliation to their starving and killing of the people of russia..
All in all, soviet military losses were in the range of 8 million to 11 million troops during wwII...
America would suffer between 200,000 to 400,000 losses in comparison...
Soviet Russia owns the revenge business in WWII...
OH.... and RED DAWN FTW!!!!
